I'm running the stock TRD shocks and I've noticed since the lift the ride is pretty rough when hitting almost all bumps in the road. The guys from toytech lifts recommend to replace the front shocks with OME N140S shocks for the best ride.

So anybody got them and noticed a difference? I'm wondering if it's worth shelling out another $300 in parts and who know's what in labor. I would do it if there's a big difference.

First time I've had a lifted truck and I love it, just would love a smoother ride. Thanks for the help.

Yes I have the 885 3" with med coils and AAL's. For me it's pretty bad. The truck shakes rattles and rolls on bumps. I have the flip out DVD/CD receiver and I'm scared it's gonna break with the shaking. My friends at work recommend to me to get shocks at the same time I got the lift.

I decided to stick with stocks since I read here that they would work with the lift.

Thanks for the info guys. Now since I'm kinda of on a budget after just putting out $2,500 for the lift, tires and wheels would it be cool just to replace the front shocks for now? Or should I save up and replace all four?

i don't think they make the n140s anymore, the new ones are the OME9000 shocks...they're what i use but i've had them on since my lift so i wouldn't be able to tell you the difference. my ride is still pretty rough but i like it because it rides more like a truck

I have the midium coils in the front with spacers.. i also have a couple other question i have a huge floor jack but im wondering if im going to need a coil press, or will i be able to lift it really high to releave tension and just take the coils off? Also do i have to take the control arms off? and will i need it to be realined after?

If your gonna swap the coils on the strut, you need a spring compressor.
